\1\"Status" dropouts.
\2\Based on the April 1960 decennial census. \3\White and black include persons of Hispanic origin. \4\Because of changes in data collection procedures, data may not be comparable with figures for earlier years. ---Data not available. NOTE.--"Status" dropouts are persons who are not enrolled in school and who are not high school graduates. People who have received GED credentials are counted as graduates. All data except for 1960 are based on October counts. Data are based upon sample surveys of the civilian noninstitutional population.
